Sha Moke (d. 222) was a barbarian general for the Kingdom of Shu during the Three Kingdoms era of China; originally being the leader of the local tribesmen (the Miao people). He is described in the historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms (in the Battle of Yiling) as below, translated to English:
- His face was spotted with red as if splashed with blood that is split from the mouth, and his eyes were blue and big. He rushed among Gan Ning's troops, mighty and fierce, wielding two spiked iron maces with long poles, with two bows slung at his belt.
In the next paragraph he shoots the ill Wu general Gan Ning in the back of the head with an arrow and kills him. Later on in the battle he was caught in the middle of a fire attack and fled, where he was pursued by Zhou Tai who caught up and cut him down.
Gan Ning was not slain by Sha Moke historically. This was a fictional event in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong.
